“Vice President JD Vance met with Pope Francis on Easter Sunday, the Vatican confirmed, a remarkable encounter between the ailing head of the global Catholic church and a high-profile convert to the faith who has publicly criticized some of the church’s social teachings,” the Washington Post reports.
From the Vatican: “The meeting, which lasted a few minutes, gave them the opportunity to exchange Easter greetings.”
